Dragon-Devouring Mage - Chapter 286

Episode 286

EPILOGUE

[Like that, the demon king fell and the world regained peace.]

It was an ending that can often be found in fairy tales on the streets or old folktales about warriors.

But… will the world ever regain peace?

After thinking about that question, Hubert lightly snorted.

‘It’s an ending that would fit in a children’s fairy tale without reality.’

It wasn’t the demon king who defeated him, but the present world showed the best what happened after that.

All over again-.

As I moved my gaze behind the sound of the horse’s hooves, the road of Endymion’s royal road appeared through the window of the carriage.

‘No, I guess I should call it the imperial capital now.’

It’s been a year since the cultist who called himself Vlad Draculea and the foreign press trying to invade from outside the world were defeated.

Despite being free from all threats, the world was still in chaos.

It has to be.

Because the memories of that time were still vivid in the heads of the continental people.

The sun and moon did not rise and day and night disappeared…

The sky where only purple light existed, and the story of a certain hero who went to the open sea to recover the daily life of the sun and moon…

Russell, the youngest priest of his own. Recalling the past, Hubert smiled slightly.

‘Not only that, but also the owner of all dragons? Looking at the story alone, it seems like a person who jumped out of a heroic story among adventurers.’

Isn’t life more like a novel than the novel’s protagonist?

Of course, the reason why the world is still confused is not only the memory of that time.

By defeating the monsters and undead that were about to descend from the outside world, the monsters and the undead were annihilated at once, but other problems remained.

‘The fall of the empire and the refugees… up to the nobles who surrendered.’

The war with spears and swords was over, but the struggle to the death with pen nibs and ink remained.

A year is too short a time for such problems to be resolved.

Of course, in the midst of that, people continued to move forward.

The event you are attending today could be said to be one of them.

It was then.

“Whoa whoa—.”

It was the voice of the coachman who calmed the horse.

Dagdak heeeeing-.

The wagon, which had been moving with a long gurgling sound, stopped in place.

“Im here.”

“Good job. This is a tip.”

Then, Hubert, who handed two silver coins to the driver who opened the door, moved his eyes slightly.

He adjusted his clothes while checking his reflection in the carriage window.

“Hmmmm.”

It was a completely different outfit from the well-trimmed tailcoat he usually wore——the loose, loose robe of the Salt Tower.

It has to be.

He had been immersed in personal research for a while, but today it was a place where he had to be formal.

After dressing appropriately and sending the wagon, I turned around and the view of the huge building came into view.

A luxurious building with an all-white color as if it was carved out of marble.

It was a wedding hall.

It’s also on a scale that is counted among the five fingers of the royal capital…

‘It’s because the name of the imperial capital is still unheard of.’

Hubert, who stopped thinking and laughed bitterly, corrected his word choice.

It was a kingdom until a year ago, but now that the empire has collapsed, Endymion has become the only hegemon in the continent in name and reality.

The system of the state also changed from the monarchy to the imperial state.

Upon entering, he saw that the first guests were scattered and chatting along the corridors of the hall.

They are building friendships by using the time before the ceremony begins.

famous faces.

Through their faces, it is revealed how great the protagonist of this ceremony is.

Hubert, passing by between them talking like that, went straight to the groom’s waiting room.

I don’t know about others, but he was one of the few people who could enter the groom’s waiting room because he was acquainted with the groom.

smart-.

“May I come in?”

I asked politely with a knock, and an answer came from inside.

“Come in.”

When I opened the door, I saw a man who was big enough to fill the groom’s waiting room, wearing a tuxedo for the groom.

Is it a tuxedo made by a craftsman stitch by stitch?

It was a bizarre appearance as if the stitches were screaming, probably because of the groom’s muscles that went beyond being strong and even magnificent.

“…”

Hubert, speechless at the sight, hesitated, and Vermilion chuckled.

“Have you come? Priests. Even if you don’t, I’ve been waiting for you to come.”

“note. yes.”

He nodded moderately, flustered by a sight he hadn’t gotten used to, no matter how many times he saw it.

As can be seen from the conversation between the two, the owner of this wedding was Vermillion.

“I never thought that the brother-in-law would marry before the priest.”

“Somehow it happened that way.”

Vermilion scratched her head shyly. Is his marriage partner the leader of the female knights division of the Naze Federation?

It was a bond that was formed after he saved her and her knights during a battle with monsters.

“Shouldn’t priests also get married soon?”

“It’s still a little more comfortable being alone… But first of all, shouldn’t there be a good person?”

“That’s why I told you not to shut yourself up in a small room and do research, but go outside or do some more intense exercise.”

I am doing enough exercise and training for my health—Hubert, who was about to answer, soon shut up.

I wondered who would take this athletic and muscle-crazy person, but having met him once before, it seemed like the other person with a similar body type would fit better than I thought.

It was then.

“As well as the priest and the youngest priest, how is Master?”

What Vermilion suddenly changed the topic.

“If it’s Master…”

“These days, you seem quite happy to have dinner with the Master of the Window Tower and have a drink until late. Maybe the news comes from Master’s side rather than the priest’s.”

After he finished talking, he was about to smile, exposing his white teeth and gums, when he heard a heartbreaking reply from outside the groom’s waiting room.

“joy. What do you mean by news? this.”

“Master!”

It was Daria.

“You have to touch your palms to make a sound. It’s so sukmaek… How did you come up with the idea of going to eat dessert together!”

With a grunting voice, she entered the groom’s waiting room.

An old wizard who only looked at one woman for the rest of his life. Naturally, as Hemingway had no dating experience, Daria was feeling frustrated by his behavior.

Maybe I can be like that too.

At that thought, Hubert frowned, and it was shortly after that someone’s voice intervened between the three of them.

“I guess I was the last one.”

“Priests!”

“Priests!”

Recognizing the owner of the voice, Hubert and Vermillion reacted in an instant, and Daria giggled at him who entered the waiting room shyly.

“The youngest one has the slowest feet. Where are you going to use that amazing magic skill?”

“sorry. I was a little late because I was working on the last work…”

“The last work?”

yes. Russell nodded and brought out a pair of rings to Vermillion.

A ring shaped in platinum and adorned with red diamonds.

“It is a wedding gift. execution.”

9 circle mage.

It was a ring presented by the only transcendental being in this era. It is not an ordinary thing to feel the strange flow of magical power.

“Genga made by the priest himself.”

“yes. It took some time to get the ingredients and craft the magic.”

“You have received a precious gift. Thank you. But…”

Vermilion muttered with a puzzled expression, holding the ring with a cautious hand.

“Does this get on my finger?”

A ring made in a normal size did not seem to fit his thick finger at all.

To that question, Russell replied as if not to worry.

“It has a resizing magic, so there should be no problem.”

As the saying goes, when you bring it to your finger, the size of the ring grows.

“haha. this is true I received a gift like this and I don’t know what to do…”

“If the brother-in-law has a happy married life, that’s enough.”

“haha.”

It was none other than Daria who changed the topic right after the touching laughter.

“So, man. How long are you guys going to make Her Highness wait?”

“You keep me waiting. I’m just putting it off a bit because I’m busy with state affairs…”

“So, did you propose?”

“….”

Russell shut his mouth at the sound of Daria’s voice that cut off the excuses that were not excuses with a single knife.

“Eh. boring guy. No matter how busy you are with state affairs, you might be the first to propose. How could men called wizards be so frustrated? Tsk tsk.”

As if someone thought of Russell and her stomach exploded, Daria only patted her chest.

.

.

The ceremony began about thirty minutes later.

The one who officiated the ceremony was Hemingway Melville, the owner of the window tower. The reason he was chosen as the officiant was simple.

It was because he was the biggest adult in the world of Endymion magic, and at the same time, he had a character far more suitable for a celebrant than Daria, who didn’t know what to say.

“joy. I can’t properly take care of my love affair, so what about officiating for someone else…”

Of course, Daria, who was watching Hemingway’s officiating ceremony, grumbled with her arms crossed.

Russell was watching Vermillion’s wedding from the back of the guest’s seat a short distance away.

With someone hiding their face using a wide-brimmed hat.

“It’s Lord Vermillion’s marriage…”

Naturally, the identity of the woman was Hecate.

Even in the midst of the busy state affairs, he escaped for a while when he heard that Vermilion was having a wedding.

“After all Sir Vermillion is getting married. dear.”

Maybe it was because he heard the scolding, not the scolding, of his teacher, Daria. Today, it seemed as if Hecate’s voice had a subtle encouragement.

In the meantime, the ceremony continues, leading to the moment when the bouquet is finally thrown.

A white bouquet crosses the wedding hall, drawing a parabola.

“Uh huh?”

“Hmm?”

A confused voice leaked out among the guests who were waiting to grab the bouquet with him.

It is also true that the bouquet flew towards the back of the ceremony hall drawing a much larger parabola than expected.

It was the result of the muscular strength of a woman who had risen to the position of knight commander, not an ordinary woman.

“…!?”

Thanks to this, Hecate’s face was reflected in the pupils of Russell, who was bewildered by the unexpected reception of the bouquet.

“My dear.”

Her face was as bright as the bride at the ceremony.

─Complete.

author’s words.

The story of ‘Yongsama’, short for the magician who swallowed the dragon, ended like this.

A lot of things happened in the course of serialization… In a way, I think it’s a conclusion that leaves a lot of relief and regret.

I don’t know if the readers felt it, but Yongsamma is an article that I tried a lot to change from my existing writing.

It’s not only the first fantasy I’ve ever written, but also about 50 more episodes than I used to.

It was also one of the stories that I tried because I had never done a development that featured a large number of female characters.

There was a lot to learn in this process, but what I regret is probably because I lacked my ability to fully draw the picture in my head.

Anyway, the story of Yongsamma has been completed like this, and I would like to thank all the readers who read it to the end.

Currently, Yongsamma is planning an abduction between half and one volume, but as of now, it is impossible to give a definite answer when exactly the abduction serialization will begin.

Perhaps, by the time another news in progress using Yongsamma is confirmed, the plan to publish the abduction series will also be revealed.

Then I don’t know if it will be an anecdote or a new work, but I will try to come back as soon as possible.

Storytune’s employees who helped the wizard who swallowed the dragon come out into the world.

The person in charge who read the article.

In addition, many other fellow writers who write together….

Finally, I would like to thank all the readers who read The Wizard Who Swallowed The Dragon once again, and I will leave.

Thank you so much so far.
